This reading has me questioning whether this has already happened, as it sounds like it from the reading, or if it is still to come, and this is a vision of the future. It says that the seal of God will be placed on 144,000, which in this time is not many people. And I how do we know if we belong to one of these tribes. It goes on to say that those sealed by God are now in white robes and says they have come out of the great tribulation. So that makes me ask, "What is the great tribulation?". The seventh seal is then opened, and the censer filled with fire is hurled on the earth, which caused thunder, lightning, and earthquakes.

I was having some of those same thoughts while I was reading. It does seem as if this has happened, but then it also seems as if it's a vision. I agree that did not seem like a lot of people... There seems to be a lot of confusion around the tribulation and what that is really going to be. It's been convoluted so much that I think the real meaning behind has been down played or hidden and made into something that may not be right. Although, I cannot say that I yet know what it really means.
I really struggle with what to say about the Proverbs because each line seems to be one of it's own thought and I feel like I would have to comment on each one. With that being said...nothing stood out specifically today, but these are still telling what a righteous person is and what an evil person is.
